Web Development by Jonathan Prykop

Hello, my name is Jonathan Prykop. I have been developing and programming for the web professionally since 1997. I would like to bring my years of experience in web programming and design to your company.

I am interested in both short-term and long-term projects: getting your organization on the web for the first time, maintaining and improving your existing site, or developing new complex applications.

I am currently seeking long-term full-time on-site employment as a mid-to-senior level web developer. I am willing to relocate. References and most contact information have been omitted from the web version of my résumé. For more information, please send an email to web@prykop.com.

Technical Skills

Responsible for both the back and front end of websites, including testing, version control, system administration, training and support. Well versed in perl, HTML, CSS, Javascript, MySQL, Apache, Subversion and Linux administration. Interested in having more experience with Ruby, Python, and PHP. Knowledgeable about common web development practices, and eager to expand that knowledge when the opportunity arises. I'm open to learning the web technology already in use by your company, and I'm a quick study when there's a task at hand.
